Renewable energy is important as a substitute for finite fossil
fuels and inflexible nuclear power and could conceivably power the
world. However, this is challenging as the world is currently 80%
dependent on fossil fuels, and renewable sources produce only about
15% of total energy. Conversion technologies for use with many of
the eight different primary sources of renewable energy are only
just emerging as viable technologies. While renewable energy
sources will not run out, and their use involves little or no
release of carbon dioxide or ionising wastes, they do have local
environmental impacts of their own. This book analyses the nature
of environmental impacts from renewable sources. A novel method of
assessing impacts is explored based on a set of parameters centred
on how diffuse or concentrated the energy flow is. The approach
that is developed will inform engineers, designers, policy makers
and planners as well as researchers in the area.
